The Scoop
May 2011 | Edition 3

Greetings! 

 

It's not enough to think about how you're sharing your story, but also where you're sharing your story, and regardless of the business you're in or the people you serve, there's a story to be told online.

 

Last week, I tweeted on the topic with the folks at PR Newswire, and you can read the recap here. You can also watch this month's elevator pitch with USA TODAY blogger Christie Garton, and take a look at one of our own stories developing online, to benefit the Washington Animal Rescue League.

 

Have a look around, and enjoy this current issue.

 

Happy Communicating,

Carrie Fox

President
